Is the UFC serious with UFC 208?

[Jawth]

Holly Holm vs. Germaine de Randamie [a]
Travis Browne vs. Derrick Lewis
Glover Teixeira vs. Jared Cannonier
Dustin Poirier vs. Jim Miller
Ryan LaFlare vs. Roan Carneiro
Paul Felder vs. Gilbert Burns
Islam Makhachev vs. Nik Lentz
Ian McCall vs. Neil Seery
George Sullivan vs. Randy Brown
Luis Henrique vs. Marcin Tybura
Ulka Sasaki vs. Wilson Reis
Rick Glenn vs. Phillipe Nover

I'm mildly interested in the bolded fights for one reason or another.

This really is a crappy card with some bad matchmaking to boot. I mean, why is Ries fighting a guy who's 1-2 in his last three when he was supposed to get a title shot and McCall is on the same card. I'm only about 60% sure I know who the guy Glover is fighting is. Holly losing two in a row and then getting a title shot in higher division is very dumb. Get someone from Invicta.

Why is Glover fighting someone who is not even a top 15 ranked LHW? Yes he lost his last fight, but it was against Rumble, and he won his previous 3 fights. If the card had Glover fighting a decent name (i.e. Bader, Shogun or Manuwa), it would really help upgrade the event.

On an aside, Derrick Lewis might be enough for me to order the PPV, no matter how bad it appears to be. I love that guy.

I buy every card, but there's no fucking way I'm buying this one. Hooters, here we come. Rather give my $60 to food & drinks

They must add another fight to the main card. This will do about 200K buys at most. They really set themselves back by putting three title fights on the 205 card and two on 207. We probably won't see a really good title fight till March at 209 or April 210.

Pass.

I'll read the play by play and see the few fights I'm interested in as highlight packages.

Travis Browne vs. Derrick Lewis

This is going to be so, so much fun to watch. I'll watch the Holly fight, too. Don't care about most of the rest.

 

[Huligani]

I don't get angry since I simply won't pay for a card like this.

Would have been a good spot to do Bisping vs. Yoel IMO.

Logic would dictate they are, and Rogan said yesterday he thinks they are moving some fights around for the Brooklyn card.

i discovered a casino nearby with no cover, free drinks, and free PPV. i will never spend a loonie or a toonie on a PPV again

Stick a 20 in a penny machine and you'll be there all night long

Mighty Mouse needs to come and save the day. Or Joanna.

Holly Holm headlining over Travis Browne is poetic
